Our Saviour Lutheran Church Saginaw, Michigan (5 August 1970) |
We stayed at Saginaw from 4-8 August, and the folk at Our Saviour Lutheran Church, Saginaw showed great kindness.  Our Saviour Lutheran Church in 2009 |
Amongst other things, they organised an Open Air Concert where we played from the back of a wagon/trailer (photo below). It was estimated that between 800-900 people were there at some stage or other - many of what we could have called 'hippies' and 'drop-outs' as well as 'ordinary' people! The Rev Bob Henkel was the mastermind behind all of this. We received a phone call from him (later when we were in Washington DC) inviting us to return to the US the following winter and take part in a series of missions in NY, MI and CA - but this never came off. The photographs below show some of the folk involved at the church in 1970. There are also some later photographs taken on a visit in 2009. |
